Zepotone Live- Will it twang?

Through a miscommunication, I ended up with a Zepotone live bridge pickup instead of the hayride. I play primarily country clean, but do enjoy a little drive. It is going into the guitar, simply because I'm not going to wait any longer!

Question- Will it twang?

I love my nocaster bridge pickup, and I hated the 52 telecaster hotrod bridge. I mention these two simply because they are the last two bridge pickups I have experience with.

I guess I should say that the lower output of the Nocaster gives it a much nicer clean sound, while the hot rod bridge just didn't sound as sweet. I assume it had a higher output. Any help would be appreciated. I'm eagerly anticipating the return of my guitar from the shop. Just thought I'd ask in the mean time...

Did you get in touch with Don about the mixup ? I'd be surprised if he doesn't make it right by you quickly.

I actually snagged a used set of hayrides on another forum, so I am not overly worried about the zepotone live. I spoke with Don, and he said the difference was in the wind by about 300 turns, and that I should still get in the ballpark. I'm just excited more than anything. I've been waiting for this guitar to be assembled since December.

Worse comes to worst, I'll put the hayride in, and sell the zepotone. I'm sure that someone out there will be interested in skipping the waiting list.
